"Okay, boss lady!" Alicia agreed in a crisp voice, throwing out the ancient dysprosium arrow in her hand. The arrow pierced the wooden shelf and smashed the small ladybug to pieces.
Everyone seemed relieved at this.
This was not the first time he saw the golden ladybug. Sean frowned and asked, "What is that?"
"In Ocean City, Rabbi Lins has three powerful subordinates." Alicia recounted, "One of them represents the inheritance of precision alchemy technology in the Daedalus Foundation.
"The precision alchemy inheritance he mastered is a branch of insect bionics."
Sean's eyes widened: "So these golden bugs are his eyes and ears?"
Wendy on the side nodded: "To be precise, it's 'ears' - this kind of bug is too small, and Ashur is not strong enough to use the ladybug's vision..."
"Assur is his name?" Sean asked.
"Yes." Alicia's eyes were calm, "'Bronze Insect Master' Ashur, a very powerful and difficult opponent with ears all over the city."
"Then just now..." Sean looked a little unhappy, "Didn't Ashur hear our conversation?"
Jennifer on the side shook her head: "I am responsible for sensing the bugs. The ladybug just flew in, so I didn't hear anything."
No wonder the makeup artist always looks a little nervous... Sean nodded secretly.
"And, as far as I know..." Wendy seemed a little dismissive of Ashur, "He has to distinguish important content from so many 'ears', and he can't do it so quickly."
The location and plan were not exposed... Sean was relieved: "You just said that Rabbi Lins has three powerful men... who are the other two?"
"This information is a bit complicated. I will explain it to you later when I have the opportunity..."
Sean nodded in acquiescence - but he still had more important questions that the "Queen" needed to answer: involving Ocean City, Utopia, the Ring of Judas and the whereabouts of Aaliyah.
After speaking out the issue she was most concerned about, Alicia began to talk again...
“Because they did such a great job keeping it confidential.
“So I don’t know much about the information about the Utopia and the Ring of Judas.
"All I know is that there seems to be some kind of agreement between Verne and the higher-ups at the Judas Ring...
"Judas Ring founded the Utopia, and Verne allowed the Utopia faith to take root and thrive in Ocean City."
Sean frowned: "Supporting an evil religion in the city he controls...Why would Verne do this?"
Alicia shook her head: "I don't know—maybe he's gone crazy?"
Sean blinked. Although Alicia just said it casually, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
The power of belief behind the "Utopia" was so crazy that it drove Fuller Verne crazy, thus condoning the growth of this evil religion and condoning some crazy things happening in this city...
If you think about it this way, everything makes sense.
His thoughts gradually became clearer, and Sean continued to ask: "What's going on with the meat in Ocean City? Why is the position of the main god of the Utopia vacant?"
"As far as I know..." Robert said while playing with the tools in his hands, "Ocean City officials added some kind of drug to those artificial meats.
“That kind of drug can make people more fanatical and lack moral sense.
"Perhaps it is precisely because of this cheap meat that most people can devoutly believe in a weird religion."
Use food to make people crazy, so that people can believe in the "Utopia" more focused.
Sean took a breath: "Verne may have really gone crazy..."
Thinking of the weird "entering the city ceremony", Sean felt that he should have realized this a long time ago.
"Where is the vacant main seat?"
"I don't have the answer to why this phenomenon occurs." Alicia said frankly, "However, what I can tell you is that it was this vacant main god seat that moved Rabbi Lins...
“He wanted to use the power of the treasure house to make himself the second human being to become a god after the suffering Joshua.
"His goal is to ascend the throne of the modern gods..."
It matched his previous guess... Sean frowned.
Sean smelled something unusual about Rabbi Lins' goal.
For Sean, the vacant main god position is like the emerald necklace on Vivian's chest...
Too ostentatious, too obvious.
Like a bait.
“How could there be a vacant Kingdom of God, waiting for people to take charge?”
Thinking about it this way, Sean felt that the psychological condition of the foundation president, Rabbi Lins, was not very optimistic.
One city, two madmen...
"What exactly is the foundation's treasure house?" Finally finding the queen, Sean wanted to ask all the questions he could.
"This is also a slightly complicated story... Is there anything else you want to know?
"I will tell you the information about the treasure house when I find the opportunity."
Sean nodded and took a breath: "There are no other questions... There are still two questions related to my mission..."
Sean looked at the empty warehouse. Alicia nodded, led Sean into the warehouse and closed the door.
Alicia did not know the whereabouts of Jojo and Aaliyah, but she said: "If you can help me achieve my goal, Carlos and Wendy will help you find them."
After helping Alicia escape from Ocean City, will she get two King-level aids?
Sean's heart beat like a drum!
My own team, plus two King classes, will have three more opportunities to be a "fair arms dealer"...
The pressure of rescuing Aaliya suddenly dissipated a lot!
In the quiet warehouse, Sean took out the bronze reading pendant passed down to him by Pompeii from his invisible stomach bag.
Alicia's eyes flashed, and she suddenly took the copper pendant in one hand and looked at it carefully.
As if to confirm something, after a moment, the female chess player's voice trembled a little: "This...where did you find it?!"
Sean stood up straight and said solemnly: "This copper pendant was given to me personally by Edgar Pompey when I joined the association."
Arthur Merlin had previously told Alicia about Sean's characteristics and that he was a member of the book club.
That's why after meeting Sean, she spoke without any reservations - her identity as a member of the "Candlelight Reading Club" is a sign that she can be completely trusted, breaking through all illusions and disguises.
However, what Merlin did not say was that the person who led Sean to choose books to join the club was Edgar Pompey, Alicia's grandfather.
Alicia Pompeo's always calm green eyes contained deep shock: "What did you say...?"
Sean nodded - his spiritual essence diffused, knowing that no one was eavesdropping at this moment, he said in a confirming and low tone:
"Mr. Pompeii is still alive."
